Photo of Bark Busters fitment

I have a set of Bark Busters EGO hand guards on my '05 'berg.

The left one seems to be interfering quite badly with the clutch lever. I'm not sure if the aluminium bracket is bent or if I have the wrong mounting kit.

Is there anyone here with an 04, 05, 06 that has the same handguards fitted? Would you be able to take a photo so I can see what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Aardy

Do you have the long or short clutch lever? If it is the lever end that is giving you issues the short one might be the solution.

The lever is the same length as the brake lever, so I guess that's the longer one?

I'm thinking about trying to bend the bracket, failing that, I'll try and source a shorter lever.

Thanks winmac.

I fitted acerbis busters with thick ali spine. Short levers the end still rubbed on the ali so I set them up slightly higher so the levers go in the lower plastic recess below the ali spine. Still rubs a bit but only within the slack in the brake & clutch. Pass scrutineering like this so far and it still protects the levers on a fall.

I used the EGO bark busters to stop the clutch lever extending too far

took the bark busters off for a while and then had to modify the clutch lever to stop it over extending

there is a little spring in there, I replaced it with a screw

For every bike in recent memory, I just cut the clutch lever and then grind it down smooth. Juice clutches don't require much pull, and my addiction to autoclutches makes the lever an almost vestigal part.

I cut the ends off and radius them.

I was convinced I'd bent the bloody thing. Turns out it's just a poor fit from the manufacturer.

Thanks a heap for the advice guys.

Out with the bench grinder - YEEHAH!!

just a tip make sure your bark busters are tightened up to the max, and brake and clutch are a little bit lose, cos if you stack and your bark buster slides up, it will shear the hose right off the clutch mechanism, look at the pic from spanner, i know this from bad experience, riding with my dad on his ktm 450 07 and he come off and, yep no clutch, has happened twice not fun.
